very important poll-computer drawsReply
I don't want to see computerized drawings for states entering the lottery. With computerized drawings, they would see more jackpot winners and fewer people play it with manipulation. I think they should go to ball drawings and eliminate the computerized drawings.

I don't think Powerball or Mega Millions would lose money if they went computerized. As long as people lust for millions of dollars, nothing will prdvent them from playing, not even computerized drawings. Ball drawings can be manipulated too, not just computerized drawings. Why does everyone automatically assume lottery officials who institute computer drawings are corrupt? They're just trying to save money so more goes toward the programs the lotteries are supposed to support.

ILLINOIS LOTTERY MOVES TO COMPUTERIZED DRAWINGSNews Story
By Todd Northrop If the Illinois Lottery issued stocks, now would be the time to sell. Despite widespread player sentiment that is strongly against computerized drawings, the Illinois Lottery stated Friday that it is dropping real lottery ball drawings, and moving to the despised computerized draws. Computerized drawings are conducted by having a computer system that picks the winning numbers using a Random Number Generator, or RNG . Players generally dislike the fact that it is imposs

Tenn. lottery chief offers advice to fledgling Wyoming LotteryReply
Well at least Wyoming won't be able to screw up most of the drawings when they start off (like Tennessee's computerized drawings) because Wyoming has only authorized mutli-state games to start with. Of the multi-state games, only Hot Lotto has the dreaded computerized drawings. NOTE TO WYOMING LOTTERY BOARD MEMBERS: Do not listen to anyone who says computerized drawings are a great way to save money and contribute more to education . Computerized drawings only serve to piss off your loyal pla

Live pick3 and pick DRAWINGS
Hello fellow players I am new to this site. Can anyone tell me why most of the lottery drawings are computerized drawings and not random ping pong balls drawn from a tank? By having computerized drawings the numbers are generated like a horse race odds before the race. The payout changes until the numbers are drawn. Therefore the payout is based on the least amount of money wagered on each number and the payout is smaller. Can we force a change back to the ping pong balls. l live in Washington,

N.C. computerized drawings - who will guard against?Reply
The best and only way to control or stop losses (and increase profitability) if you are the State is to put a computer in charge of your lotto drawings.Why?One, a computer (i.e., the person doing your software) can screen all the combinations before the drawing to make sure there are no winners, OR to make sure there are LESS winners than found in purely random drawings.Two, your computer can hence increase the profitability of the State through the lotto by making sure fewer winners or no

Why so much greed?Reply
Yes, I'm the guy who set up the computerized drawings petition, and we all need to rally around two things:Hold the line: No more states fall victim to computerized drawings. In addition, for all new lotteries, like Oklahoma and North Caolina, we must ensure that they go with real lottery drawings from day 1. I am happy to say that since day 1 of the petition, not one state has converted to computerized drawings. We must all be vigilant, and not let this ever happen!Roll them back: Get states

I'm not sure why Kuck is the only variable , as you say, but apparently you have not read, or have not taken seriously, all of the many arguments against computerized drawings.Recently, companies that produce the computers and software for these terrible computerized drawings have started to notice that there is a groundswell against their product. Thus, they have started a concerted effort to post supportive messages about computerized drawings, hoping to make it seem that they're not so bad.

VIDEO: Why we hate computerized drawingsNews Story
You'll never want to watch an animated lottery drawing again By Kate Northrop If you know Lottery Post, you know we hate computerized drawings, but it's not that we dislike computers and technology... so why all the hate? There are far too many documented incidents that prove again and again why computerized lottery drawings are too risky, no matter how many safety precautions and procedures are in place. Lottery players overwhelmingly prefer traditional ball machine drawings b

Computerized lottery drawing glitch picks same numbers for 3 daysReply
Jack,That's what I've been trying to say ever since I started the petition. With computerized drawings, the lottery draw operators cannot possibly see what program code is actually generating the numbers every night, so there's no way for them to have the slightest clue if they are being scammed by a hacker or insider. The only way they can know everything is OK is by guessing -- looking at the results and trying to somehow sense if something is wrong.Now we clearly see the results of th
